We hang a lot of AES on wooden stud walls. Our engineer prescribed the following: 1-5/8" strut bolted to every stud in the span. AES factory mounting brackets bolted with 3/8" grade 8 bolts and thick strut cone nuts. Then a support brace 3-1/4" strut which is (2) welded back to back 1-5/8" struts (think beam) supported by the same 3-1/4" strut (think legs) with strut post bases and plate connectors for connections. He said "now way" to relying on studs for anything beyond two batteries.
